“…the main reason for the low popularity is the principle of mandatory balancing by the system of energy injected by the prosumer until 2023 (net metering principle). The change of this rule to net billing in 2023, as well as subsidies for the purchase of energy storage under the next "My Electricity" program, may change prosumers' approach to investing in their storage [8,9]. according to the authors, such a distributed system can, without significant grid investments, considerably flatten the daily curve of electricity demand in the system.…”

The paper discusses a variety of serious challenges facing the Polish energy sector until 2040. These challenging tasks largely result from intensive works in the European Union on the finalisation of measures implementing a zero-carbon economy, as well as social (Covid-19), political and military events, both global and regional (war in Ukraine). After analysing the present condition of the energy sector, the authors proposed a modification of Poland’s energy policy, pointing out that the transformation of the national electricity system towards zero-carbon energy requires, on the one hand, speeding up investments in renewable sources, but on the other hand, insuring this process by own controllable generation sources. The paper also defines the conditions that should be met to achieve the highest possible share of non-carbon energy in the national energy mix by 2040.

“…[ 45 ] explored the influencing factors of DPV development in Argentina, and the results indicated that environmental factors such as political instability, energy subsidies, and high inflation rates were considered as the primary obstacles. [ 46 ] conducted a questionnaire survey involving 430 participants in Poland and found that factors influencing consumers’ attitudes towards PV technology are related to environmental concerns, economic factors, and factors associated with the usability of PV technology. [ 47 ] conducted a survey involving 20 experts and 29 electricity consumers and found that consumers primarily focus on generation capacity, electricity costs, photovoltaic system costs, and financial capability when adopting distributed photovoltaic electricity generation.…”

Distributed photovoltaic (DPV) is a promising solution to climate change. However, the widespread adoption of DPV faces challenges, such as high upfront costs, regulatory barriers, and market uncertainty. Addressing these barriers requires coordinating the interests of stakeholders in the promotion of DPV. Therefore, this paper constructs a three-party evolutionary game model in a social network with the government, investment companies and residents as the main subjects and examines the influence of different subjects’ behavioral strategies on the promotion of DPV under the social learning mechanism. The results show that: (1) In the game equilibrium, both the government and residents hold a positive attitude towards the promotion of DPV; (2) Companies will obtain most of the subsidies through market power and information differences, resulting in the increase of government subsidies that do not always benefit residents; (3) The increase of energy consumption and pollution prevention costs can promote companies’ investment in DPV; (4) The increase of environmental protection taxes to a certain extent helps companies to take responsibility for promoting DPV, reducing the pressure on the government to promote it and increasing residents’ income. This study provides insights into the sustainable development of DPV.

“…Research to date also shows that decisions on the use of photovoltaics are made mainly on the basis of attitudes to solar energy, and the factors promoting this RES are of much less importance [63]. In addition, government programs subsidizing the use of solar energy are very well received by enthusiasts of such a solution, despite the fact that they see the high costs of such an investment and the lack of energy storage systems.…”

Increasing the use of renewable energy sources (RES) is one of the greatest challenges faced by modern emerging and developing economies. Its effective implementation largely depends on the acceptance and involvement of consumers in the process of sustainable energy transformation. Bearing in mind the above premises, the purpose of this article is to identify the motives for the use of photovoltaic installations in Poland against the background of the share of solar energy in the structure of energy consumption in the developing economies of Central and Eastern Europe. In order to achieve this goal, the scope of the use of renewable energy sources in 11 countries of the analyzed region was determined in the course of the research; then, on the basis of the results of the survey, the motives for using solar energy by 754 Polish prosumers were identified (a statistically representative sample). The results indicate a low and relatively slow-growing use and a very different structure of RES in the surveyed economies. From the pro-consumer perspective, the decision to use solar energy is primarily influenced by economic motives, including, above all, the possibility of reducing costs and using energy also for heating. Independence factors related to the possibility of at least partial independence from energy suppliers and diversification of energy sources are also important. Ecological motivation and promotion of RES, including government incentives, are definitely less important.
